Carter Hart was announced out due to illness Tuesday which meant that Samuel Ersson was called up from Lehigh (AHL) to back up Felix Sandstrom.

With the return of Rasmus Ristolainen (lower-body), Egor Zamula will unluckily be the odd man out of the Flyers' lineup Tuesday. The 22-year-old has two points through his first nine games while collecting four shots on goal across only 13:27 ATOI.

Ristolainen has been on the injured reserve with a lower-body injury since last playing Nov 2nd in Toronto. The 28-year-old will be hoping for much better results than his first four games of the season, as he is playing a career-low 17:20 ATOI and is a -4 plus/minus with zero points.

Simmonds will head back to the Maple Leafs after being sent down to Toronto of the AHL earlier in the week.

Vladar took the loss his last time out stopping 17 of 19 shots (.895 SV%) in relief of Jakob Markstrom in a 6-3 loss over 11 days ago. Tuesday will be only Vladars second start of the 2022-23 season, as he has been used scarcely posting a .896 SV% and .303 GAA in two games.
